API Security Services
Australia
APIs are the connective tissue of modern applications and the #1 attack vector for data breaches.
Our comprehensive API security program protects your REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and WebSocket
interfaces from design to runtime.
91%
of web attacks target APIs
83%
of web traffic is API calls
60%
of breaches involve APIs

Common API Security Failures
Broken Authentication
Weak token validation, insecure session handling
Excessive Data Exposure
APIs returning more data than the client needs
Lack of Rate Limiting
No protection against brute force or scraping
Missing Input Validation
Injection attacks through API parameters
Broken Authorization
IDOR and BOLA vulnerabilities allowing data access
Complete Coverage Across All API Types
Different API architectures have different security considerations. We provide specialized testing for each type.
REST APIs
Comprehensive security testing for RESTful web services including authentication, authorization, input validation, and business logic
GraphQL
Specialized testing for GraphQL- specific vulnerabilities including
introspection attacks, query depth attacks, and batching abuse
WebSocket
Real-time communication security testing including connection hijacking, message tampering, and denial of service
gRPC
Protocol buffer and gRPC service security assessment including
authentication, TLS configuration, and message validation

OWASP API Security Top 10 Coverage
Our testing methodology comprehensively addresses all OWASP API Security Top 10 vulnerabilities
Broken Object Level Authorization
APIs expose endpoints that handle object identifiers, creating a wide attack surface
API1
Broken Authentication
Authentication mechanisms are often implemented incorrectly, allowing attackers to compromise tokens
API2
Unrestricted Resource Consumption
APIs don’t limit the size or number of resources requested by the client.
API4
Broken Object Property Level Authorization
Lack of or improper authorization validation at the object property level
API3
Broken Function Level Authorization
Complex access control policies with different hierarchies and roles.
API5
Unrestricted Access to Sensitive Business Flows
APIs exposing business flows without considering the damage they cause.
API6
Security Misconfiguration
APIs and systems have insecure default configurations or missing security hardening
API8
Server Side Request Forgery
SSRF flaws occur when an API fetches a remote resource without validating the URL
API7
Improper Inventory Management
APIs expose more endpoints than necessary, creating unnecessary attack surface
API9
Unsafe Consumption of APIs
Developers trust data from third-party APIs more than user input.
